Replacement Dwelling, Stockland

The Brief

Providing a small home with large ambitions

Our clients came to us having purchased a beautiful and secluded 4 acre plot in rural East Devon. Although the plot was idyllic, the existing dwelling on site was small, dilapidated and structurally unsound. Having initially considered a remodel it was decided that the best route was to demolish the existing dwelling and replace with something entirely new. This design better orientates the house within the site, working with the topography of the land and providing a striking but modestly sized three bedroom home. The use of natural materials such as stone, timber cladding and standing seam metal allows the property to sit well within its rural environment and provide a calm exterior to a modern form.
